Researchers found that key science sites on their research topic failed to be listed in the top 30 results from Google:<br /><br /><blockquote><p>"A fundamental observation was that, despite popular perception, the Web is far from being a neutral source of information. It has a particular structure<br />that steers the search in directions that may not be intended by the user and so<br />makes some sites more accessible than others."<br /></p></blockquote><p>The invisibility of these quality sites is a problem but as the commentator for Intute highlights <a href="http://www.intute.ac.uk/socialsciences/blog/?p=344">it is never a good strategy to base your research on searching a single source</a>. This is also the poetic advise for psychology students from Dr Gareth Furber in the BPs Blog: <a href="http://bps-research-digest.blogspot.com/2007/01/web-guide-for-psychology-students.html">BPS RESEARCH DIGEST: A web guide for psychology students</a>.
